Most of tho Texas Conference
teams got tho Jump on ACG by
playing an early gamo. But it's
a ROOd thine no r-nmn una on1ln.l.
ulcd for tho Cats becauso thov
didn't got any kind of a scrim-
mago until last Saturday. Offen.
give work wns the program for
that afternoon and Monday they
got somo dofonslve drill from a
hord of exports.

Afterall physical education is
chiefly for the person who really
needs the oxcrclso and a broak in
tho regular routine ot study. Evon
when ycVu foci the loast bit lone-
some nnd homoslck pick up your
tennis racquet and go out for a
good game nnd see It it docs not
work. A 45 minuto play in tho
gym mnkos you fcol as though
you were starting tho day nil
ovor again
Last year tho girls played basket
ball with Hardln-Slmmon Univer-
sity and McMurry College. Our
team wob victorious in every
gamo. The victory was groat but
Just playing was much greater.
"Moso" McCook came out of
tho skirmish with a wrenched
kneo nnd Stone also got a log
Injured. Tuesday Coach
"Bugs" put big Lewis Parkor
back nt end and there's where
you'll probably find him tho
rost ot tho season. "Chick"
Owcna got jhlis "klsaor" all
skinned up and had to cancol
tho only date he's had In six
months.

You may lmvo heard something
of this Sowoll Cox. But you haven't
hoard nnythlng till you'vo heard
some of thoso blacks he's boon
laying on tho boys In scrimmages.
And ho llk03 to hit 'em hard or
not nt nil. It cveryono of tho guys
had his spirit wo'd bring some
victories this fall.

The Cat lino suffered a
blow when it was learned that
Loulo Cure lettorman guard
would be scholastlcally inelig-
ible for competition this fall.
But it may recuperate from
th0 blow with tho addition of
Wosloy Cox of rock'em sock
'em 8owell. Hc weighs almost
a hundred ninety nnd had four
yoars oxporlenco as guard at
Canyon high school.
S-S
Bill Emmerson star from Ros-
coe who was expocted to old the
cat backflold did not have suffl.
clont high school credits to enter.
Ho left Wednesday for Oklahoma
City to attend Capitol Hill Junior
Collogc. Bill roally has tho rank
ings of a football playor and we
will bo watching for his success.
S-S
I was Just looking at tho
now yoll book saw some songs
to bo sung "in victory or do-
feat." My opinion may b0 Just
my own but I don't bollovo
thero is such a thing as a
"good loser." We've lost long
enough. Coach Is- tired of
losing; tho students aro tired
of losing; tho wholo town Is
tired ot our losing; cx-stu-dents
are tired seeing us lose.
It's gotta stop sometime so
Jit might as woll begin Sat-
urday at Alptno
S-S
Did you know that the boys
who nro seniors hove played in
only two victorious football
games? Thoy'vo tied -Jots of
games lost many by one point or
ono touchdown but as Bro. Mc-
Kenzlo says "If wo want another
'mora; victory' we'll take on0 out
of the trophy caso." This Is writ-
ten in hopes that tho players
themgolvoB will see It and not to
the students who have boen back.
Ing them. All tho. boys will ad-
mit that tho support has boen ex.
cedent that it has been undeserv-
ed. Think It over boys and give
tho old bean bell a cbanco to ring
th0 students achnnco to choer;
thon you'll Ihftva .something to
crow about
S-S
While they thing this mat-
tor over let's us bo thinking
of ho'plpng Mr. T. P. 'a special
train to Donton nnd "Pluck
those Eagles."
